Definitions

  • This invention relates to a lubricating oil suitable for use in refrigerators, and particularly for use in rotary compressors.
  • the rotary compressors have a high contact pressure and a high sliding speed in the sliding portion and also meet with a high discharge temperature. Therefore, lubricating oils to be applied are required to have excellent fluorohydrocarbon stability, high wear resistance and assured extreme pressure resistance.
  • DE-A-1 806 445 discloses a modified long-chain diorgano polysiloxane as an additive to mineral oils which provides a mixture having a small change of viscosity within high temperature intervals.
  • the specific higher fatty acid modified silicone oils as used in the present invention are not disclosed in said document.
  • the invention comprises a lubricating oil for refrigerators which is used in a fluorohydrocarbon atmosphere, comprising a base oil having incorporated therein from 20 to 10,000 wt ppm of a silicone oil represented by the formula: wherein X represents a group of-(CH2)n-COOH; n represents an integer of from 11 to 17; and the sum of x and y is from 10 to 1,000 with an x/y ratio of from 100/1 to 1/1000.
  • the base oil which can be used in this invention is not particularly limited, and includes generally employed mineral oils or synthetic oils having a viscosity of from about 5 to about 500 mm 2 /sec at 40°C and mixtures thereof.
  • the mineral oils to be used include raffinates of fractions having the above-described viscosity range obtained from naphthene or paraffin crude oils. The viscosity may appropriately be selected depending on purposes. Since it is particularly important to use a base oil having a low pour point, the base oil is preferably refined by low-temperature dewaxing or hydrogenation dewaxing.
  • the synthetic oils to be used include heavy alkylates, i.e., long-chain alkylbenzenes, poly-a-olefins and polybutene.
  • the higher fatty acid-modified silicone oil which can be used in the present invention is a dimethyl polysiloxane whose methyl groups are partially substituted with a saturated higher fatty acid having from 12 to 18 carbon atoms, such as lauric acid, myristic acid, palmitic acid or stearic acid, and are represented by the formula: wherein X represents a group of 4CH,4-,COOH; n represents an integer of from 11 to 17; and the sum of x and y is from 10 to 1,000 with an x/y ratio of from 100/1 to 1/100.
  • higher fatty acid-modified silicone oil represented by the above formula examples include KF 910, X-22-800 (trade names both produced by Shin-etsu Chemical Industry Co., Ltd.) and analogues thereof.
  • fatty acid-modified silicone oils those wherein the modifying fatty acid is an unsaturated fatty acid have reduced fluorohydrocarbon stability, and those wherein the modifying substituent is a lower fatty acid having not more than 10 carbon atoms do not bring about any effect to improve wear resistance.
  • the above-described higher fatty acid-modified silicone oil is added to the base oil in an amount of from 20 to 10,000 wt ppm, and preferably from 70 to 3,000 wt ppm. If the amount is less than 20 wt ppm, sufficient wear resistance cannot be exerted.
  • the higher fatty acid-modified silicone oil of the present invention is not so highly soluble in the base oil at low temperatures, and the upper limit of solubility is about 10,000 wt ppm, though varying depending on the properties of the base oil. As the amount of the higher fatty acid-modified silicone oil in the lubricating oil composition increases, the wear resistance of the composition increases.
  • modified silicone oils other than the higher fatty acid-modified silicone oils according to the present invention such as epoxy-modified silicone oil, carboxy-modified silicone oil or mercapto-modified silicone oil, or with general silicone oils.
  • the lubricating oil composition containing the higher fatty acid-modified silicone oil of this invention when in use under a fluorohydrocarbon atmosphere, exhibits excellent wear resistance and extreme pressure resistance without impairing fluorohydrocarbon stability. Moreover, it is effective to improve hue stability and to prevent rust on iron or copper.
  • the lubricating oil composition of the invention may further contain other additives commonly employed, such as defoaming agents, e.g., dimethyl polysiloxanes, antioxidants, e.g., dibutyl-p-cresol, and hydrochloric acid-scavengers.
  • defoaming agents e.g., dimethyl polysiloxanes
  • antioxidants e.g., dibutyl-p-cresol
  • hydrochloric acid-scavengers e.g., hydrochloric acid-scavengers.
  • Lubricating oils were prepared by mixing a paraffin mineral oil having a viscosity of 32 mm 2 /sec (40°C), a naphthene mineral oil having a viscosity of 30 mm 2 /sec (40°C) and a mixed oil of an alkylbenzene (Zeflon 150) and a paraffin mineral oil having a viscosity of 32 mm 2 /sec as a mixture with a higher fatty acid-modified silicone oil (KF 910, produced by Shin-etsu Chemical Industry Co., Ltd.) as shown in Table 1.
  • a rotating shaft was held by two V blocks and rotated at 290 rpm by means of a Falex testing machine specified by ASTM-D-2670.
  • Load resistance was evaluated by determining a load at which seizing of a test piece occurred.
  • Wear resistance was evaluated by measuring an amount of wear of the test piece after running for 1 hour under a load fixed at 136.08 kg (300 Ib). The testing was carried out in an atmosphere of Flon R-12.
  • Fluorohydrocarbon stability was evaluated by charging iron, copper, aluminum wire (catalyst), a test oil and Flon R-12 in a sealed glass tube and, after preserving for a given period of time, measuring the hue of the oil and the amount of hydrochloric acid generated.
  • the lubricating oil containing the higher fatty acid-modified silicone oil of the present invention has excellent load resistance.
  • Table 2 reveals the remarkable improvement in wear resistance brought about by the lubricating oil of the present invention.
  • the silicone oil of the present invention does not adversely affect fluorohydrocarbon stability at all, while the lubricating oil containing tricresyl phosphate adversely influences fluorohydrocarbon stability.
  • Example 4 To the same paraffin mineral oil as used in Example was added 300 ppm of dimethyl polysiloxane, epoxy-modified silicone oil (KF 102, produced by Shin-etsu Chemical Industry Co., Ltd.) or carboxy-modified silicone oil (X-22-3710, produced by Shin-etsu Chemical Industry Co., Ltd.). Each of the resulting oil compositions was subjected to performance test using a Falex testing machine in the same manner as described in Example to determine anti-seizing property and wear of a test piece. The results obtained are shown in Table 4 below.
